The Sami are reindeer herders persecuted by governments in countries they inhabit.

No, The Rock didn’t voice the Fetts or the clones.

Dee Bradley Baker did.

Finland was founded when the original ole white king ignored his black general’s peaceful disposition and slaughtered the natives? Which his daughter  atoned for by flooding her own kingdom?

No, I'm referring to the reindeer herders persecuted by the governments of countries they inhabit to take over their lands. Like building a dam to starve out a tribe of folks in an animated film.

It was originally going to be Bowie but they decided they wanted all the main cast to be Pacific Islanders. Jemaine Clement did a great impersonation of Bowie.

Remember Sami are from Norway,Finland,Sweden and Russia.

Good movie, although it was kind of a dick move for Moana's "stone at the top of the mountain" to be a shell, so whoever is the leader after her will have to either move it or start a new pile of stones.

Your parents are losers that don’t understand you.  Just do what you “feel” is your destiny and don’t listen to your parents trying to protect you.

The story line is ironic, as it’s about a little girl that can save her village.

However, you’ll see she can’t do shit without a man doing everything for her.

Perhaps daddy shouldn't be an authoritarian prick and instead help guide his daughter in finding what works best for her rather than telling her "No" to following literally the main drive in her life?

I have a 2yo girl. She loves Moana, has all the character's dolls/stuffed animals and sleeps with a Hei-Hei plush.

Great movie with an overall excellent message for a young woman coming up in this world, which is a rare thing these days (especially from the Disney social programmers).

One of my daughters favorites

The music is great, think it has some of the best songs of any Disney kids movie

The island/ocean rendering is fantastic

Moana is a strong female character without being grrl power. She reminds me of my daughter who is very headstrong and doesn't let anyone stand in her way.. Now if we can just get her to keep her room clean.

I liked brave. But like the little mermaid, and others, the basic premise is, ignore your parent.(because dead parents is a constant Disney thing).They don’t really know what is best for you. Do what you want. It will all work out.

Moana does that too. Buts it feel less in your face than brave and little mermaid.
